About the Amazon Kindle D01100 2GB

The Kindle D01100 is Amazon's entry-level 6-inch E Ink e-reader with a non-glare touchscreen, Wi-Fi, and a rated four weeks of battery life. It weighs about 0.375 lb and holds TXT and PDF files, with a microUSB port for charging and sideloading. It is a basic reader for people who want a light, single-purpose device for long reading sessions, not a tablet. Against newer Kindles it gives up screen sharpness, a front light and USB-C, so it suits readers on a tight budget who read in daylight.

  • What reviewers say

    • 4 / 547 ratings

    Owners rate it around 4.1 out of 5 and treat it as a simple, dependable reader. Praise centers on the light weight, the glare-free screen, and battery life that lasts weeks. Complaints focus on the low-resolution display, the lack of a built-in light, and sluggish page turns.

    What people mention
    • Display sharpnessCriticisedOwners say the 167 PPI screen looks softer than newer 300 PPI Kindles, especially with small fonts.
    • Battery lifePraisedReaders report going weeks between charges with regular use.
    • WeightPraisedAt about 0.375 lb it is comfortable to hold one-handed for long stretches.
    • Front lightCriticisedThere is no built-in light, so reading in bed requires an external lamp.
    • PDF supportMixedPDFs open, but zooming and page navigation are clunky compared with reflowable books.
    • BuildMixedThe plastic body feels sturdy enough but basic, and some owners note the microUSB port is dated.

    Questions and answers

    Is the Kindle D01100 worth buying?
    It is a good pick if you want a light reader for plain-text books and do not need a front light. If you read in the dark or want sharper text, a newer Paperwhite is the better spend.
    Does it have a built-in light?
    No. The D01100 has a glare-free E Ink screen but no front light, so you need room light to read.
    Can it read in the dark?
    Not on its own. You will need a lamp or clip-on light, unlike Kindle Paperwhite models with built-in illumination.
    What file formats does it support?
    It handles TXT and PDF directly, and Kindle books bought from Amazon. Images can be sent to the device as well.
    What comes in the box?
    The Kindle, a black zip case, and a USB cord. A wall charger is not included.
    How does it compare with a Kindle Paperwhite?
    The Paperwhite has a sharper 300 PPI screen, a front light, and USB-C on newer models. The D01100 is lighter and simpler but lacks those features.
